Station selection proceeds as in other CLIMOD products. Note that normals are
not available for all stations; only those with fairly complete data for the
normal period.

Checkboxes are used to select the variables of interest. The initial
selection matrix includes 1971-2000 normals (thirty-year averages) and standard
deviations for maximum temperature,
minimum temperature,
average temperature,
HDD, CDD,
and total precipitation. For
precipitation, there is also an option for "precipitation percentiles". This
option produces a table of the monthly/annual precipitation amounts associated
with the following percentiles: .005, .01, .05, .10, .20, .30, .40, .50,
.60, .70, .80, .90, .95, .99, .995. The .01 percentile, for instance, is the
amount of precipitation that on the average would fail to be exceeded during
a given month once in 100 years.

The "More options" button will produce a more extensive variable selection
matrix. The normal period can be set to either 1961-1990 or 1971-2000. In
addition to the values in the initial matrix, selections are also available for
medians, 21-year and 11-year values, factors for adjusting temperatures to
approximate a midnight observation time, and the 30 years of values that went
into the normals computation. Additional elements are HDD and CDD for bases
other than 65. For HDD, these bases are 70, 65, 60, 57, 55, 50, 45, 43, 40,
35, 32 and 30. For CDD, the bases are 80, 75, 70, 65, 60, 57, 55, 50, 45, 43,
40 and 32. [Currently HDD and CDD to different bases are only available for
the 1961-1990 period.]
